Do You Myth America?

Rehan Syed from UnSplash

In Myth America: Historians Take on the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past, two historians, Kevin Kruze and Julian Zelizer, replace myths with research and reality. Based on a firm foundation of historical scholarship, they debunk the narratives that portray the New Deal and Great Society as failures, immigrants as hostile invaders and feminists as anti-family warriors, among other partisan lies.

Once you are finished, check out the rest of our Popular Reading collection. Titles range from commentary, fiction, historical fiction, mystery, suspense, non-fiction, current affairs, science, social issues, and politics.

Our collection is on the first floor of Mullen Library in the Reference Reading Room.
